There are controversies about the definition of OA. After examining the requirements about OA, we recognized OA as the situation in which researchers could read the full text of articles in unrestricted way. In order to investigate the current situation of OA, 4,756 articles were sampled randomly from articles published between January and September in 2005 and indexed in PubMed. The main results are as follows: 1) The rate of OA articles was 25%, and 75% of all the articles were available online including electronic subscription journal articles. 2) The means of OA was classified into five types. Among them, the rate of OA articles by \u201cOA and Hybrid OA journals\u201d was overwhelming (more than 70%), and that of PMC was 26.2%. The rates of OA articles by \u201cinstitutional repositories\u201d and \u201cauthors' personal sites\u201d were considerably low (6.0% and 4.9% respectively). 3) When comparing the rates of OA articles by countries, Belgium ranked the first with 41.7%. The five countries indicated more than 30% in OA articles: Canada and India (38.7%), Brazil (36.4%), Australia (30.8%), and the U.S. (30.7%). Each country was different in the means of OA. 4) We explored the rates of OA for two groups; one group consists of articles published in journals with IF, and the other consists of articles published in journals without IF. The rate of OA for the group of articles in journals with IF is 20.6%, and that of articles in journals without IF is 30.8%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.1450430198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,10]],"date-time":"2007-10-10T14:20:23Z","timestamp":1192026023000},"page":"1-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The current status of Open Access in biomedical field: the comparison of countries relating to the impact of national policies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Mamiko","family":"Matsubayashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keiko","family":"Kurata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yukiko","family":"Sakai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoko","family":"Morioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinji","family":"Mine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuichi","family":"Ueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"e_1_2_20_2_1","first-page":"429","article-title":"Publishing role in the scholarly communication : Dispatch of Japanese scientific research seen in SPARC\/JAPAN and university library (in Japanese)","volume":"53","author":"Adachi J.","year":"2003","journal-title":"The Journal of Information Science and Technology Association"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5860\/crl.65.5.372"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_4_1","unstructured":"Budapest Open Access Initiative(2002)Retrieved January 26 2006 fromhttp:\/\/www.soros.org\/openaccess\/read.shtml"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_5_1","unstructured":"Council for Science and Technology Policy(2005)Science and Technology Basic Plan (in Japanese)Retrieved February 2 2006 fromhttp:\/\/www8.cao.go.jp\/cstp\/output\/toushin5.pdf"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_6_1","unstructured":"Directory of Open Access JournalsRetrieved February 3 2006 fromhttp:\/\/www.doaj.org\/"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_20_7_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Ten\u2010Year Cross\u2010Disciplinary Comparison of the Growth of Open Access and How it Increases Research Citation Impact","volume":"28","author":"Hajjem C.","year":"2005","journal-title":"IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1045\/march2005-harnad"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_20_9_1","article-title":"Comparing the Impact of Open Access (OA)?vs. Non\u2010OA Articles in the Same Journals","volume":"10","author":"Harnad S.","year":"2004","journal-title":"D\u2010Lib Magazine"},{"key":"#cr-split#-e_1_2_20_10_1.1","unstructured":"House of Commons Science and Technology Committee(2004)Scientific Publications"},{"key":"#cr-split#-e_1_2_20_10_1.2","unstructured":"Free for all?Retrieved February 2 2006 fromhttp:\/\/www.publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/cm200304\/cmselect\/cmsctech\/399\/399.pdf"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ipm.2005.03.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_20_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"LawrenceS.(2001) Free online availability substantially increases a paper's impactNature 411(6837): 521.
